Raman self-focusing at maximum coherence. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We demonstrate a type of Raman self-focusing and -defocusing that is inherent in operation at maximum coherence. In this regime the two-photon detuning from the Raman resonance controls the refractive index of the medium.
